Do you believe in anything metaphysical? Time dimensions?Do you make allowances in your thinking that there is the possibility for the existence of anything else that you will never be able to define through the scientific method direct observation or any other physical means?
Why is believing in something intangible or unknowable important? Is it a matter of comfort? To give oneself the impression of truth, having the answers to questions where no answers exist? What is the purpose or point of faith? Why do people adhere to Hinduism or Islam, Judaism, Christianity, etc?
That wasn’t the point of my question. Why do you exert so much energy engaging people in conversation about religion? Why would it matter to you if someone found comfort in religion? You obviously don’t see a point to faith yet you have much to say about it.
Were you too born an atheist or is atheism something that you chose?
I'm not exerting much energy, hardly at all.
The thing that should considered is why some get enraged by reasonable questioning of beliefs....something that they themselves should be doing in the interest of sorting fact from fiction.
Isn't questioning important? Shouldn't Muslims, Hindus, Jews, etc, question their beliefs? If so, why not Christians?
